Westinghouse Electric CorporationThe following note appears in the “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” section of the Annual Report of Westinghouse Electric Corporation. Note 1 (in part): Revenue Recognition. Sales are primarily recorded as products are shipped and services are rendered. The percentage-of-completion method of accounting is used for nuclear steam supply system orders with delivery schedules generally in excess of five years and for certain construction projects where this method of accounting is consistent with industry practice. WFSI revenues are generally recognized on the accrual method. When accounts become delinquent for more than two payment periods, usually 60 days, income is recognized only as payments are received. Such delinquent accounts for which no payments are received in the current month, and other accounts on which income is not being recognized because the receipt of either principal or interest is questionable, are classified as nonearning…

Ohio Logistics manages the logistical activities for firms by matching companies that need products shipped with carriers that can provide the best rates and best service for the companies. Ohio Logistics is very concerned that its carriers deliver their customers material on time, so it carefully monitors the percentage of on-time deliveries. The following table contains a list of the carriers used by Ohio Logistics and the corresponding on-time percentages for the current and previous years. a. Sort the carriers in descending order by their current years percentage of on-time deliveries. Which carrier is providing the best service in the current year? Which carrier is providing the worst service in the current year? b. Calculate the change in percentage of on-time deliveries from the previous to the current year for each carrier. Use Excels conditional formatting to highlight the carriers whose on-time percentage decreased from the previous year to the current year. c. Use Excels conditional formatting tool to create data bars for the change in percentage of on-time deliveries from the previous year to the current year for each carrier calculated in part b. d. Which carriers should Ohio Logistics try to use in the future? Why?
